May, the last month of the spring in Violet, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 71.6°F (22°C) and 82.4°F (28°C).

Temperature

The onset of May marks a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 75.9°F (24.4°C) in April to a still warm 82.4°F (28°C). Violet's temperature lowers to a mean of 71.6°F (22°C) during the nights in May.

Heat index

For most parts of May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
